UNC students on why Donald Trump supporters are more likely to film themselves having sex

According to a study done by Match.com this month, Donald Trump supporters are 1,104 percent more likely to expect sex on the first date and 99 percent more likely to film their escapades than users who promote other political preferences. Staff writer Rashaan Ayesh asked UNC students if they thought this was true, and why.

Crazy goes with crazy. I wouldn’t say he’s crazy, but Donald Trump, he’s more bold so I feel like he has nothing to lose so people taking pictures while they are having sex, you know, have nothing to lose.

Uneducation. They are so out there anyway they might as well do out there stuff. So I really don’t have much of a correlation. To me that is astounding. I just would’ve assumed that they would’ve been the least likely as ultra-conservative or something like that. But maybe because they are out there ultra-conservative, they are out there to film themselves having sex.

You know that joke about how you know if someone’s a vegan, don’t worry. They will tell you. I feel like it’s basically the same thing with Donald Trump support. I think if someone supports Donald Trump, they’re going to tell you immediately. I feel like, sort of, that braggadocious nature sort of lends itself to one wanting to exhibit themselves with coitus to the powers of evils at large that they assume would enjoy that. 

I think that because Donald Trump makes a lot of assumptions, I feel like Donald Trump supporters would have a similar thought process and would make the assumption that we would want to see them doing the nasty. Whether or not that is true is an entirely different story, but I feel like it’s sort of like, I dunno, very exhibitionist in a way to sort of post on the Internet about your political views. And I feel like Donald Trump supporters feel pressure to do that and those that would feel comfortable admitting that in public, are probably the same people that don’t have a lot of qualms watching people watch them screw.

I don’t think there is a correlation. It’s funny, I guess. Makes sense in some aspects. I’m not really sure of the facts and information so I don’t know how to speak on it.
